Hi,
For the southerners keenly or jealously eyeing the Qld fleet, we had SIX Sabres in the regatta, which attracted 75 entries overall.

Race 1 was a moderate SW, and Race 2 a fading SW, ending in a tow home from the finish area.

We all had some learnings from the event - myself, that it is NOT good to start before your Numeral Pennant is displayed (yep I took off with the wrong fleet in Race 1, and Gary followed me!). Others got confused about the trapezoidal courses - sailing N1 rather than N2, or N1 rather than O1 and some other variations!

Dinner on Saturday night was great - although the President was scolded by the waitress for having a non-club susbstance on the table!! The perils of leadership!!

Apart from the Sabre sailors, a few others joined in as onshore support etc over the weekend which was greatly appreciated and made for a good weekend.

Sunday, the wind was not kind, and although race 3 was started, after about 90 mins all racing was abandoned and the fleet towed home.
